My family got out of Russia and Germany in the late 1800s and settled in Chicago. I had NO idea. I was raised Irish Catholic on my father's side. I am having a bit of an identity crisis.
Just had my DNA done. Found I am 49% Ashkenazi whose ancestors immigrated from Russia. The rest of my ancestors were Europeans. Identity crisis is that evidently the man who provided for me isn't my bio father. I'm so confused.
No need for identity crisis. Just be joyous over your family’s history. Let the hardship your ancestors went through allow you to be more thankful and to do better in life. Be joyous over the fact that America was their refuge as a testament to how great our country really is.
@@rosebay44Evergreen-ti3zl WE ALL HAVE BEEN BRAINWASHED TO BELIEVE THAT WE, EUROPEAN JEWS, ARE DESCENDENTS OF HEBREW SEMITES !!!! To make believe we have some inborn identity with the " holy land"
We are all able to truely able to be a melting pot in this country due to the blood of 58 million slaught dead native Americans. One of if not the largest holocaust in his-story, never ever forget this beautiful souls.
I agree with you about the genocides of Native Americans. But the same people who killed them they killed Africans, Indians from India, Asians, Arabs/ Muslims, and Persians. That’s why lot of ppl left their homeland to come to America. Because of wars, poverty, religious prosecutions, political and countries like the Middle East were ripped apart. Resources were taking government corrupted, no water or electricity.
My grandfather is the only one in his family that came to America from Kiev. I have a wonderful picture of his family from 1932 when he went back to visit them. We never heard from them again. I need to share with the Holocaust museum
The Pale was not Russia. It was controlled by the Russian empire. The Pale was the ethno-linguistic-cultures that are now the modern states of Poland, Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine.
When I read the description of Fiddler on the roof, I thought they Pale Town was reffering to how pale it is. Didn't realize it was an actual region/group of people.
I wonder why the Jewish were so comfortable letting go of their brilliant culture to embrace the american culture. Music, art, food and culture passed down centuries just for the NY burger and Starbucks lifestyle. This is from a Middle Eastern Muslim by the way!
Now it makes sense. I wondered why my child could remember the scripts after I had played “The Sound of Music” several times when sitting on my laps. My child also “naturally” had taken the same bus to school with a Polish boy (Michael) for three years almost every school day. My kid love music and abstract philosophical concepts. They have no doubts about eternal life, time travel, parallel universes, zero gravity, multi-dimensionality, and more without running any scientific step-step proofs.
America has transformed my and my familys life. We were Russian-Jewish refugees from Latvia. Many of our family were already living in US before we got here.
Jews from russia. Not russians. I hope that's what you mean when you say "russian-jewish". Because the jews from russia aren't russians. Not ethnically and not genetically.
@@vitorhugosantana7053 There was some admixture, but due to discrimination, Jewish communities kept very isolated and were very endogamous in order to keep the religion and their Ashkenazi Jewish, Yiddish-speaking culture alive. Most of the Jews in the Russian Empire didn't even speak Russian or the local language (Polish, Latvian etc.)
I'm confused!! The Hebrews in Ethiopia can trace their lineage back to King Solomon(Judah/Israel)queen Mekela(Sheba/Ethiopia). You europeans from khazaria,who's your ancestor that makes you say you're the biblical jews/hebrews??
Raymond your wrong The Ashkenazi Jews are the descendents of the Jews of the diaspora of 70a.d which brought Jews to various parts of the Roman empire.
@@raymondthompson7899the ancestors of Jews was Shem. The Ashkenazi Jews as well as the Sephardic Jews are a Diaspora group of Jews.

My last name seems to come from Lithuania ,Lativa. I don’t know much about it but I’m interested. My father says his family came from Minsk migrated to New York. I wish I knew more
What does it say about our times that half the comments in this apolitical video on the channel of a concert hall sound like they come out of Stormfront?
My grandparents were from Russia. I get questions about Christianity like why am I not church? I have been called retarded for not knowing answers about Christmas. I have been called a liar. I have recently read that antiSemitism is delusionall.
So short an overview - zipped from the late 19th and early 20th century to the LES then we're in the theater and songwriting business. Pogroms? Then leave to America, simple. Weeel, maybe not so simple.
@shearcuttingmutt mutt We Kangz know 1 things for sure: that European Jews are DEFINITELY not the real Jews and that the Ethiopian Jew or any person of African descent in the entire world is obviously closer to the real Jew than the European Jew. Now can we both agree on that? Im just asking. :)
Daniel your absolutely wrong. The Hebrew Israelites were a Levantine people. The Samaritans Israelites have been in israel/ the Levant prior to the Babylonian exile and they have had their dna tested.The test show that the Samaritans have similar DNA to the Jews who live in Israel today.

This theory was debunked so many times. As one who studied the subject, I can confirm that jews aren't khazar. And their DNA shows that european(ashkenazi)jews are 50-70% middle eastern and the rest is mostly southern european.

My grandparents came from the Pale of Settlement.My grandfather came from Proskorov known for Pograms and my grandmother came from Cherney- Ostrov.
it was part of Russia in that time
Well it was considered Russia at that time. Things changed.
I wonder why the Jewish were so comfortable letting go of their brilliant culture to embrace the american culture. Music, art, food and culture passed down centuries just for the NY burger and Starbucks lifestyle.
This is from a Middle Eastern Muslim by the way!
Very good, based question. May Gods blessings be upon you!
I agree.
You put it so well.
My family is from eastern uerop.
I hate american 'culture' it is garbage and we gave up our own culture for this garbage.
It's more to do with oppression and persecution in eastern European and middle Eastern countries
NY burger and starbuck's lifestyle? There's a lot more to USA culture then that.....
Not all of us
I love all the Polish-Russian Jews! Great people.

@michael getachew European Jews are Europeans from Europe, ain't nothing righteous about invading other people's lands.
@michael getachew but they were Ashkenaz tho.
Yiddish isnt anything to do with hebrew btw its european origin
Should America only be inhabited by Native Americans,and all white people should go back to Europe?
